The New York Times reports that China is using what amounts to slave labor to manufacture face masks.
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to drive demand for personal protective equipment, Chinese companies are rushing to manufacture the gear for domestic and global consumption. A New York Times visual investigation has found that some of those companies are using Uighur labor through a contentious government-sponsored program that experts say often puts people to work against their will.
The Uighurs are an ethnic minority in China, which is majority Han Chinese.
The report may shed some light on video we and many others posted last week.

The video dates to at least Sept. of 2019, and apparently shows Chinese government officers in black guarding Uighurs, who are blindfolded and shackled, kneeling, before being loaded onto trains. The video reportedly originates in Xinjiang, the province in which the Uighurs live and are forcibly moved from to work in factories elsewhere. Interestingly, many of the officers in black are wearing face masks.
In its report on forced labor, the NYT tracked some of the masks from the manufacturers to places around the world, but only mentions one by name: Georgia, here in the U.S.A. It’s almost as if the Times wants to find a way to blame the United States for China’s racial slave labor practices. But these masks aren’t Nike shoes.
In a response to The Times, the spokesman for China’s Embassy in the U.S. said the program helps “local residents rise above poverty through employment and lead fulfilling lives.”
Quotas on the number of workers put into the labor program and the penalties faced by those who refuse to cooperate, however, mean that participation is often, in effect, involuntary.

They’re forced to make ‘em, we’re forced to wear ‘em.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the ChiComs make wallets out of human skin. Does this surprise anyone?
It’s been reported that they steal organs from the Uighurs to use in chinese people
I think part of the reason for the forced mask wearing is so that retail doesn’t take a bigger hit. Anyone else notice how many masks are available now in pretty much any store? I have never seen even one person go up and look at them. Probably a huge loss unless we are mandated to wear them.
Does the name Ed Geen from Wisconsin ring a bell?
He made lamp shades out of human skin.
I imagine they gave off an unearthly light.
They get megabucks from wealthy Koreans and Japanese in need of organ transplants.
I think I’d heard of him. Gein. Jeffrey Dahmer was from Wisconsin, as well.
Hehe, I was testing you a bit!
Ed Geen came to public notice when I was a kid, it was probably the late 1950’s.
At first no one believed the stories about his killing and skinning people and then tanning their skins.
Ah, the years of innocence.
If you wear a mask, you support slavery! You’re a rayciss! Cancel masks! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
New Reports have been saying this since March 2020.
Lebron James and the NBA to comment in 3, 2, 1....
The Bodies Exhibit is also from China and it is believed that they are the bodies of Chinese prisoners/slaves.
In China, all labor is forced labor.
